Its about an addiction to sex. He's singing about fisting a girl and it's not enough, he needs more, nothing seems to satisfy. So he keeps going deeper in search of the satisfaction ne wants.

It's def a reference to a dysfunctional union of some variety. Whether it be with a person or a substance or whatever. Feeling nothing and digging deeper until you feel anything could be a drug addiction reference but it could also be a failing relationship where you f--k it up worse just to have some exchange of emotion. I do know one thing, if you want to laugh your a-- off, do a bong hit and then read all the meanings on this lil blog from top to bottom.

This song is about technology and our need for it. It's written with the literary device; metaphysical conceit.

It's about drugs and in my opinion its coke. At the same time being high trying to convince a partner to partake to show that they are in it together. On the other hand opinions are like a aholes everybody has one. Unless you had it removed then go F your self !!!!!!

12379 has it right. Everyone wanted to believe Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was about LSD and other drugs. It wasn't. It was about a drawing his son made of his friend Lucy. In the sky. With diamonds

He's comparing a boring sex life to our everyday life in society. We've been overly exposed to many things in our society that we don't get the same response anymore. Like when sex gets boring.

If you think this song is about sex, you don't deserve to listen to Tool. Maynard is talking about how desensitized we are these days. Look what is on TV compared to 50 years ago!

It's a reference to giving yourself up to something much larger than yourself
